The vessel is perceived to support the country’s energy infrastructure and maritime workforce, delivering LNG to the EcoEléctrica facility in Peñuelas through a multi-year partnership with global energy company Naturgy and employing 90 U.S. mariners in its first year, nearly 20% from Puerto Rico. This highlights the company’s commitment to providing LNG supply to support the island’s energy resilience.

Jenniffer González-Colón , Governor of Puerto Rico, commented: “I want to congratulate Crowley on achieving this milestone, marking the first anniversary of LNG deliveries to Puerto Rico by the vessel American Energy, a US-flagged service dedicated to supplying our power needs.
